The World Cup should unite people, not divide them. Every nation and every player deserves respect. Senegal’s heroes have inspired millions and should be celebrated, not treated with disrespect. #fifaworldcup #fifacom26

Mr. Oma Autumn is a hero and an icon respected by the people, an honorable voice that speaks for Africa, and a true reflection of the values, dignity, and aspirations of the African continent. Shame on you @FIFAWorldCup @FIFAcom

I am deeply grateful for the overwhelming support, encouragement, and kind messages I have received from people around the world. Your solidarity has reminded me that football unites us beyond borders. Thank you to everyone.

[Ubah Aden @UbahAden72]

That’s the proud. Power. And unity🇸🇴❤️

🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.

Når retten til selvbestemmelse gjelder bare noen — da handler det ikke om rettferdighet, men makt.

Dette handler ikke om Somaliland. Det handler om kontroll, allianser og makt – med Afrikas horn som innsats.

Absolutely and completely eloquent, there was no genocide whatsoever that took place, it is absolutely SNM rebel insurgents who committed atrocities and genocide against other clans, we let this fake narrative to go unchecked �

International law requires Israel to comply and respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Somalia. Recognizing a part of Somalia is a complete breach of this. Somaliland is an integral part of Somalia. Our people are firmly united in the defence of their sovereignty.

Congratulations to Abdikadir Ahmed Ali Firdhiye, elected president of Somalia’s new northeastern state. 🇸🇴 Despite instability, Somalia’s elections remain peaceful with broad acceptance — a proud democratic tradition that continues to inspire. #Somalia #somali #betterfuture

[Ubah Aden @UbahAden72]

Bare antydningen om å anerkjenne Somaliland setter enormt press på Mogadishu – et kalkulert maktspill der Washington og Tel Aviv kan vinne uten å betale prisen!

[Deeqa 🇸🇴 @Deee_luul]

Once again, Ted Cruz exposes himself, just as he did in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson. He’s nothing more than a mouthpiece for AIPAC lobbyists! 🤡

This push to recognize “Somaliland” is a tactical move by Israel, part of a broader plan to pressure Somalia into accepting the Palestinian relocation plan before the UNGA in September. If they truly wanted Somaliland recognized, they could do it themselves. Instead, they pressure Washington to take the risk.

U.S. will not recognize a breakaway region in Somalia and create a permanent enemy in the HOA. Why would it, when it can influence all of Somalia to serve its interests?

This is nothing more than leverage, using the “Somaliland” card to force Somalia into political compromises!

[أنس الشريف Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0]

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Despite Somalia having rich farmland capable of producing a wide variety of crops, consumers are still fed imported, low-quality goods from abroad. Why is this happening? Here are the key reasons:

1) The Somali govt either lacks an understanding of self-sufficiency or simply chooses to ignore it. More likely, it doesn’t it ignores the importance of it—because if it did, there would be clear policies in place prioritizing domestic production and protecting local farmers. 2) Corruption plays a major role. Some politicians within the system are working with foreign smugglers, actively opposing efforts toward national self-reliance for their own gain.

Across East Africa, Eritrea stands out as the only country with a clear, enforced policy of self-reliance; rejecting foreign aid and focusing on domestic development. Despite international pressure, Eritrea has managed to survive and maintain its independence largely because of this approach.

The Somali farmer in this clip stated facts 💯. On my recent trip to the fertile valleys of the Juba region, I personally witnessed productive farms, full of potential. Yet, I also saw convoys of 18-wheelers loaded with imported food rolling into Somali states. That is the sad part; goods that could and should be produced locally.

This is a national problem that demands urgent and serious action. #Somalia #SomaliFarmers #Somali #Mogadishu #SelfSufficiency #FoodSecurity #EastAfrica #SupportLocalFarmers #SomaliPeninsula

Why is one of the continent’s most resilient nations still lagging behind?

1.juli 2025 markerer 65 år siden Somalias selvstendighet. Mens Afrika reiser seg, sitter Somalia fast i klan og kaos. Dette er ikke bare en tragedie – det er et varsku. Spørsmålet er ikke om vi kan reise oss igjen, men om vi tør. #kowdaluulyo

Somalia is bleeding.
The people are forgotten. Al-Shabaab is rising.
A corrupt elite holds power while the nation suffers.

It’s time to speak up.
Enough is enough.
Time to take back our future, our dignity, our country. #somalia
